The bible says marriage is between one man and one woman? Cause I dont remember it saying that.
Pretty sure Abraham married half of noahs family.
It says it in many places, I however will not do your searching for you. It also says between a man and a oman. You can look that up too.
I know it says between man and woman, but it doesnt say one man and one woman.
As i said, if it does, why was everyone marrying the whole town? The Father of Israel had several wives. Polygamy was accepted then.
I have heard of different interpretations of verses speaking against it, but that wasnt what it actually said.
If it says it, please post it. I just googled it again and found nothing.
Pay attention to the tense, it's all singular
